Good MorningEquity markets started the week on uncertain footing, with earnings, economic data, and the FOMC in the crosshairs. This week, reports from several major tech companies could sway the balance between recovery and resuming the sell-off. Results from ServiceNow suggest that AI spending remains robust, and reports from Microsoft, Amazon, and others are expected to be strong.
Regarding the economic data, the PCE Price Index is due and may show a slowdown in inflation. If so, it may pave the way for the FOMC to cut interest rates and reassure the market that all is not lost. If not, the FOMC will likely keep interest rates where they are until something changes. The question is whether that change will be a natural cooling of inflation or a dip into a recession. Featured: Elon's next move will be bigger than the IPO – and it could happen any day now (Ad)
